I can't see any changes at all. Can someone advise?

Use DLV 5.6 beta

Or install Islendil submod for DLV 5.5

Yeah they make for some real wicked battles. What do you think of the new calvary animation? Just wondering because people seem to be split down the middle.

The use of cavalry is certainly changed - Charges can be devastating but you have to work hard to get them regrouped and cohesive again. Probably quite realistic...

Yeah that's what I was talking about. There is another topic that is discussing the Cavalry spreading out and weather it is good or bad.

Back on topic though... I think that the new animations defiantly affects the over all flow of a battle. Before sword units rarely preformed their finishing moves and now that they preform them on a regular basis you really have to watch unit match ups. Also now, more than before, spear men get ripped and/or dominated by most sword wielding units. Where as before the new animations spears could hold their own one on one.
